MAP (file format)
The .MAP file extension is used for various different types of files.
Video games
- Uncompiled Quake maps. These files are plain text files. [1]
- Valve's Hammer Editor saved level files in the binary, proprietary .rmf or text-based, human-readable .map format prior to version 4.0.
- In addition, the Halo series uses .map files for the levels. Duke Nukem 3D uses .map files for user-created levels.
- .map files are also used by Multi Theft Auto: San Andreas, a multiplayer modification for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Other uses
- Debugging maps. These are typically plain text files that indicate the relative offsets of functions for a given version of a compiled binary.
- .map files are also used by the MapInfo Professional Geographic Information System.
- .MAPs are also identified as color maps. An example of such software that supports .map files is SoundSpectrum's G-Force music visualizer.
- Another form of the .MAP file is for HTML image maps. An image map is formatted in HTML and creates click-able areas over a provided image.
gollark: Flash storage does seem to be generally pretty reliable as long as it doesn't break particularly soon or have some sort of horrible flaw, so I do now go for whatever's fairly cheap and has decent reviews. Obviously backups are important regardless of how reliable you assume your thing is.
gollark: I have a Samsung 250GB SSD from back when they were £80 or so, and it still works fine.
gollark: I don't think I would trust any of these with any data whatsoever.
gollark: Well, I found a random unbranded one with 3-star reviews.
gollark: You can see, then, why it seems unlikely that there are real 1TB ones for $30 or so.
